Ship Mean Time, also known as SMT, refers to the average time a ship spends at sea between two consecutive visits to a homeport for the purpose of crew changes, supply restocking, and routine maintenance. For instance, a container ship might have an SMT of 25 days, meaning it typically spends this amount of time at sea before returning to its homeport.
